<br />
Now, <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/crime/article6661551.ece">according to</a> <i>The Times</i>, among others, three Islamic fundamentalists have been banged up “for an arson attack on a London publisher who planned to print an ‘offensive’ book about the Prophet Muhammad”.<br />
<br />
The attack was on the home of Martin Rynja, and “has been compared to the campaign against the publication of Salmon Rushdie’s <i>The Satanic Verses</i>”.<br />

I got a Wacom Bamboo tablet for xmas, and have been practicing with it on a site I used to mess around on some a while back. (I post as Rook on that site because it is my favorite chess piece.)<br />
Anyway, this is a work in progress the subject of which some people here should be familiar with.<br />
<br />
Edit: This is it finished now.<br />
